No. A better case can be made for Batman.

Episodes animated in Japan:

On Leather Wings
P.O.V
It's Never Too Late
Vendetta
Heart of Ice
Robin's Reckoning, Part 1

@Sunproof21 I agree. Avatar The Last Airbender is not anime, because it was made in America. Link Click is also not anime, because it was made in China. Therefore, Avatar is a cartoon, and Link Click is a donghua. And neither of them are anime.

It doesn't have the artstyle of an anime and it wasn't made in Asia, so no. It's a cartoon that aired on Nickelodeon alongside their other cartoons.

ATLA is an American cartoon inspired by anime, so no, it is not.
Summertime days, passing gently
Sunlight, leading to an encounter;
Dreams that don't want to end
Continue onwards toward the next day
While she waits in the air.

No, but I consider it a master cartoon or the epitome of mastery, a true art.

My German backup girlfriend or a Bleach fangirl also loves the series.

Only the first season of that Korra series was very entertaining. I still prefer TLA which was incredible.

In 2004, there was this Miguzi block. The only cartoons at the time that came close are Teen Titans and the 2003 TMNT. IMHO, Avatar: TLAB totally surpassed One Piece (being introduced to America via said block) as best cartoon of 2004. In 2004, One Piece had a boring arc. Who the hell cares about some episode of rubber boy taking on a second rate villain that zapped like Pikachu?

Second rate like Teen Titan's control freak rather than first rate like Ozai.

I don't think it is. It's not made in Japan.

But doesn't matter much to me because I would suggest enjoying stuff for the sake of fun and not sweat the details.

By American standards, no...but in Japan, all animation is considered anime. Ironic.

In Japan, the term "Anime" refers to everything that is animated. By their definition, Spongebob is an anime. In the rest of the world "Anime" refers to cartoons produced in Japan. So, by our definition, Avatar is not an anime.

Avatar was written by 2 Americans. It was primarily animated in South Korea and mostly funded by Nickelodeon.

No as it was not made in Japan, it was heavily inspired by it though.
